Ocular Infections Test Bank 1-2 Mahon: Textbook of Diagnostic Microbiology, 4th Edition Chapter 01: Bacterial Cell Structure, Physiology, Metabolism, and Genetics Test Bank MULTIPLE CHOICE 1. To survive, microbial inhabitants have learned to adapt by varying all of the following EXCEPT: a. Growth rate b. Growth in all atmospheric conditions c. Growth at particular temperatures d. Bacterial shape ANS: D The chapter begins by discussing the way microbial inhabitants have had to evolve to survive in many different niches and habitats. It discusses slow growers, rapid growers, and replication with scarce or abundant nutrients, under different atmospheric conditions, temperature requirements, and cell structure. Bacterial shape as a form of evolution is not discussed. REF: page 3 OBJ: Level 2 – Interpretation 2. Who was considered the father of protozoology and bacteriology? a. Anton van Leeuwenhoek b. Louis Pasteur c. Carl Landsteiner d. Michael Douglas ANS: A The book discusses Anton van Leeuwenhoek as the inventor of the microscope and the first person to see the “beasties.” So they dubbed him the father of protozoology and bacteriology. The other three individuals were not discussed. REF: page 4 OBJ: Level 1 – Recall 3. Prokaryotic cells have which the following structures in their cytoplasm? a. Golgi apparatus b. Ribosome c. Mitochondria d. Endoplasmic reticulum ANS: B All the structures listed are found in eukaryotic cells, but the one that only applies to prokaryotic cells is the ribosome.
